FoE PNP G-Platypus Session 2

[17:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****G-Platypus: The City of Broad Withers - Session 2*****
[17:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Hunger.
[17:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM> When it comes down to it, it is the ultimate motivator.
[17:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM> From the richest pony in Tenpony Tower to the most desperate foal starving in the gutter, everypony feels its touch.
[17:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM> It’s why the caravaneers trade for caps. It’s why scroungers risk life and limb to scour dangerous ruins. It’s why two tattered corpses lay in a blood-muddies street just north of Railyard.
[17:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Perhaps our wastelanders will find a way to feed themselves, or at least feed the locals...
[17:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****Session Start*****
[17:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  It is late afternoon, pushing into early evening.
[17:52] * Blackberry_Jam was trotting along to the inn after sharing a drink of Bombshell Booze with that crazy mare from the gun store. She was looking into finding a place of Snack_Cake to stay. There's a tune on her lips as she sashays through the center of town.
[17:54] * Nyota has spent the afternoon in the local in, so far she'd been trying to recollect her thoughts after the hectic morning they've had. She'd attracted too much atention to herself, even more stupidly told her name to the one by the name of Canary. Allthough not all was bad as she's helped saving a poor mare from being horribly slaughtered by the local zombie ponies. With a sigh she flops out of her seat and moves outside fo
[17:54] * Nyota for some fresh-er air.
[17:54] * Snack_Cake is still with the other doctor. She's starting to feel better about the loss of her friends, though it still hurts to think of it.
[17:57] * Nyota has her hoodie up, and her eyes keeps glancing back towards the northen gate. She mutters something quietly to herself in zebra, scratching a foreleg with a hoof before aimlessly wandering towards the south gate. Looking through it towards where the battle scene had taken place not only a few hours ago. Sighing again she leans against the gatepost. "Where to next..?" She mutters."
[17:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The inn is short train on the other side of the large metal box that dominates the 'center' of town. The cobbled together cars that make up the 'business district' stand opposite it. Nyota and Blackberry_Jam can see eachother actoss the way as they exit.
[17:58] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The Sheriff and the deputies continue to stand guard at the North Gate, the only open entrance or exit to the town.
[18:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The Southern Gate is blocked by a car on the rails. Several ponies are loading it with supplies.
[18:01] * Scrap returned to Slash and Slag's.
[18:01] * Mister_Clacky|GM Dr. Splotches is doing /another/ inventory of his supplies.
[18:02] * Blackberry_Jam pushes open the door to the inn and eyes Nyota. "Hey." She says quietly in passing.
[18:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag is putting away the booze when she notices Scrap. "What can I do ya for, Buddy-Pal-Amigo?"
[18:03] <Scrap> "I want wing blades put on my armor."
[18:04] * Blackberry_Jam pushes open the door to the inn and doesn't eye Nyota at all. She probably would have said  "Hey."  quietly in passing, provided she was actually there. Instead, she heads inside the inn to speak to the innkeeper.
[18:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash's ears perk up at 'blades'. "Oy! This one's mine, Slag." He trots over and bumps her out of the way. "So, you wanna get to cuttin'? I can help with that." He starts trotting around Scrap tutting to himself.
[18:06] * Nyota is leaning against one of the carts, watching the ponies load supplies into another car. After a few moments she moves up to one of the ponies loading the car and asks. "Ahm, what is all this?" She waves a hoof at the supplies.
[18:07] * Scrap patiently waits for the analysis results.
[18:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash nods to himself. "I can do it. 100 caps."
[18:07] <Scrap> "Deal."
[18:08] * Camo is now known as Thunder_Strike
[18:08] * Blackberry_Jam leans up on the counter at the inn and flashes the owner a smile. "Excuse me, I've got a patient that needs accomidation. Do you think you could set her up with a room?"
[18:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash pulls out some cloth measuring tape and starts jotting down Scrap's measurements before asking him to hoof over the armor. "Take me an hour or two. Ya can come back at close, in the morning, or stick around. Whatever."
[18:10] <Scrap> "I'll wait here. No harm in it."
[18:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The solitary mare of the group looks over at Nyota. "Weekly trade caravan. We pull it down south and bring the car back with supplies." She is curt but not unfriendly.
[18:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The attractive, if older, mare at the Inn looks Blackberry_Jam over with recognition. "Well, darling, you know the rate. 10 caps a night."
[18:15] * Nyota nods slowly, eyeing the crates being loaded. "I see.." She takes a step backwards before turning on the spot, moving back towards the northen gate. Leisurely strolling past the wierd metal box in the middle of town. She stops and eyes it curiously.
[18:16] * Blackberry_Jam furrows her brow a little. "The poor thing lost her only family out there, Priss. I don't even know if she has the caps to pay. Can you comp her, even just tonight?"
[18:17] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The most distinguishing feature of the big metal box is that it is a big metal box. There is a small terminal on the side and a small antenna and dome attached to the northeast corner.
[18:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Miss Priss draws her hoof up to her chest. "Is that what the commotion was? Poor dear. I can put her up for the night. But if she needs to stay longer than that I'll have to get payment from her in caps or work."
[18:19] * Nyota blinks, okay, this was odd, even for pony standards, she looks around for a moment, watching if there is anypony nearby.
[18:22] * Blackberry_Jam smiles at the innkeeper and gives a satisfied nod. "Thanks. She'll be glad to hear that." She takes her leave, humming that same tune and lighting up a fresh cigarette. She makes her way back to Splotches' slowly, saying hello to some familiar faces on the way.
[18:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  There are a few ponies milling about lost in their business. The Sheriff and his deputies are arguing about something at the north gate. Slag is walking out of Slash and Slag's. It seems Slash is working feverishly on something, and that can get dangerous for those in close proximity.
[18:26] * Scrap oblivious to the danger sits in a corner and pulls out a sack with an assortment of shiny objects.
[18:26] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Inside Slash and Slag's the mechanically minded stallion is a whirling dervish of pointy-bits and tools.
[18:27] * Nyota flicks her tail a few times, scratching a foreleg before noding to herself and stating to move towards the northen gate where teh sheriff and deputies are. She glances up at the sky as she walks. Was it just her or was there rain comming? Shuddering as she she prances closer. Once she is close enough she scrapes a hoof at the ground. "Uhm, excuse me.. Sirs? I was wondering, what is that metal box?" She says with a headj
[18:28] * Nyota headjerk towards said box.
[18:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The Sheriff glances over from his conversation with the deputies. "Oh, that's Jack."
[18:30] * Nyota raises an eyebrow. "You named a metal box Jack, why?"
[18:30] * Blackberry_Jam heads in the clinic and sets her shotgun in the corner. She sits down near Snack_Cake again, like before she left and smiles. "Hey kid, I've found you a room in the inn, so you've got a bed tonight. How are you feeling?"
[18:30] * Thunder_Strike looks at canary and tells him she'll be right back. She left her saddlebag back at slash and slag's. she rushes back to the shop before it gets taken.
[18:31] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary nods, he is dealing out of his deck of cards. He seems rather focused.
[18:32] * Thunder_Strike retraces back to the shop and looks at the sign again before she enters.
[18:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder can see Slag milling about outside the shop, there is quite the ruckus (maybe a frakus) eminating from inside.
[18:34] * Scrap looks up at the newcomer, then returns his thoughts.
[18:34] <Scrap> To his*
[18:34] * Thunder_Strike stops before entering hearing the noise. She looks right at slag and asks, "what's all the hullabaloo about?"
[18:35] <Scrap> "An upgrade for me."
[18:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The Sheriff, feeling this explanation is going to end up being more than cursory, turns from his deputies and really looks over Nyota for the first time. "The box isn't called Jack, Jack's in the box. I don't think I we've met yet." He holds out a hoof.
[18:36] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Name's Caboose." He motions to his deputies. "This is my brother Kaboom and my other brother Kablewy."
[18:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag looks over at Thunder. "Slash is fixin' up somepony's armor. He does good work, but he's... excitable. Best to not be in the vicinity, if ya follow my lead."
[18:38] * Nyota looks down at the hoof, slowly raising her own and bumps against his quickly before putting it down again. A sheepish smile on her muzzle as she hears teh name of the ponies. She flicks her tail. "Ah, yes.. Hi." She glances over too Kaboom and Kablewy for a second before refocusing on Caboose. "So.. Jack is -in- the box..?" She asks, not completely understanding, was this a joke?
[18:38] * Thunder_Strike "oh. I see. I left my saddle bags in there." She says backing away from the door.
[18:40] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Sheriff Caboose nods with a big smile. "Now ya got it."
[18:41] * Nyota scrunchie faces. "What.. Is Jack doing in the box, exactly?" This had to be a wierd pony joke..
[18:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag looks between Thunder and the door. "Well, if you go in there, I'd keep your head down. Or you could wait with me."
[18:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose's smile widens. He seems to be enjoying this. "Watching."
[18:43] * Thunder_Strike "yeah, I think I'll wait with you." She says nervously smiling.
[18:44] * Nyota stomps a rearhoof and flicks her tail, she frowns slightly at the Sherriff, taking a deep breath and smiles back, her smile not reaching her amber colored eyes. "And what does a pony in a box need to watch, why does he watch?"
[18:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose trots out of the guard house, leaving it in the hooves of his brothers. "Never said it was a pony." He trots toward the box and continues talking. "Jack here is part of the reason we don't have as much trouble as some of the other settlements."
[18:47] * Wraith is now known as Serenity
[18:48] * Mister_Clacky|GM Caboose stops in front of the box, looking up at the dome-on-a-stick. "Hello, Jack!"
[18:48] * Nyota turns around and trotts up next to Caboose, following him towards the pony box. Her stripe bobbing back and forth as she walks. Listening intently she nods  and lets the sheriff continue.
[18:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  A staticy voice responds. "GreEtings, SheRIff. How aRe You?"
[18:50] * Snack_Cake looks over at Blackberry_Jam and gives a hesitant smile. "I'm... feeling a little better, I think... Don't feel like I'll start crying again right away, anyway... Thanks for going through the trouble. I don't know what I'd do on my own..."
[18:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag smiles at Thunder_Strike. "Wise choice. You only need to get hit in the head with a crowbar once to know the better part of valor, what?"
[18:51] * Blackberry_Jam takes a quick puff of her cigarette and gives a gentle smile back. "It's no trouble, really. Need anything else, while I'm here?"
[18:52] * Nyota takes a skitish jumping step back from the now talking box. Straightning herself and moving up to stand next to Caboose she nods towards the box.  "So, ah.. This is Jack"
[18:52] * Thunder_Strike "heh, should wear a helmet." She says moving out of the door way.
[18:52] * Snack_Cake thinks for a moment. "I... can't really think of anything. You might need to show me how to get to the inn though, later on."
[18:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "HeLlo, Non-ThReaT poNy."
[18:55] * Nyota gives a nervous laught. "Ah.. Zebra, but, yes.. Hi, Jack." She glances at Caboose. "What does Jack do, exactly?"
[18:58] * Blackberry_Jam gets up and takes a look at Snack_Cake before yawning a little. "All right then." She says, retiring to the comfy waiting couch in corner. In a minute or two, she has her muzzle buried in a book.
[18:59] * Wraith ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[18:59] * Wraith ([email protected]) has left #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[19:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose leans against the box. "He sits here mostly, but if there is big trouble, he deals with..." A puff of dirt erupts from the ground near the Sheriff's hooves causeing him to jump back.
[19:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "THREAT DETECTED!" With a rush of hydralic power the pop-up turrent concealed in the box erupts from the top and starts firing at the upper levels of the nearby apartment complex.
[19:02] * Snack_Cake starts fiddling with her PipBuck. She wonders if there's any good radio stations she can pick up. She doubts she can get the stable's radio signal from here...
[19:03] * Nyota yelps and jumps away too, lowering herself down to crouching possition. Ears flicking about as she tries to detect what was happing. She stares wideeyed at the turrent and prepares to run, only gets a few steps befeore notecing it wasnt acctualyl fiering on her.
[19:04] * Nyota takes a few steps closer to the sherrif. "Does this happen often?!" She shouts over the sound of gunfire. Still crouched down.
[19:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Jack's pentuple railway rifles spit out a few volleys. "Treat lost." The turrent lowers back into the box.
[19:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM> threat*
[19:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Damn fucking raiders!" Sheriff Caboose rises from his crouch behind 'Jack'. He looks over to Nyota and sighs. "Unfortunately."
[19:06] * Blackberry_Jam looks up at the Pipbuck from the brim of her reading material. Right, she forgot Stable Dwellers had those things. After a while, she yawns, stretches and gets up, preparing to leave. "Hey kid, I'm going to go grab something to eat. Care to join me? It's probably better than just sitting in here all day."
[19:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag looks on from the door of her shop with Thunder_Strike. "Whoa! Dinner and a show... well... without dinner."
[19:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Inside the store Slash is finishing up. It was a simple addition. "Oy. All done." He hoofs over the modified armor to Scrap after checking that he bothered to actually get paid. Slag hates it when he forgets to get paid.
[19:09] * Snack_Cake looks up at Blackberry_Jam, a little surprised. "Oh... sure. That sounds nice. As long as I'm not... intruding or anything."
[19:09] * Nyota sighs too, seeing the sheriff standing up she reluctantly does the same. "Well.. Ah, now I know what Jack does. Heh." She smiles sheepishly. Eyeing the box wearily. Her heart beating hard in her chest after that little "demenstration" of the town's defense.
[19:10] <Scrap> Putting his things away. Scrap gets out 100 caps and gives it to Slash. "Thank you."
[19:11] <Scrap> He then puts the armor back on.
[19:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "A little more than I intended. I'm sick of those bastards. I think it's about time I upped the bounty on them." He tips his hat. "Anyway, pleasure and all that." After a quick glance up he starts trotting back to the guardpost and the bulletin board beside it.
[19:13] * Thunder_Strike chuckles. "Yeah. To bad no dinner." She chuckles but the slight breeze blows her duster coat up momentarily revealing her cutie mark, which is a very steam punky set if wings that are made of daggers. She quickly fixes the duster.
[19:13] * Blackberry_Jam chuckles lightly and motions for Snacky to follow her. "No intrusion, really." Humming a different song, she heads out through town, swishing her tail as she looks for her favorite eatery.
[19:14] * Nyota blinks. "Are there going to be a raider attack? Is that why...?" She glances and waves a hoof towards teh impact hole of the bullet. "Yes, thank you for showing me. Ah, Caboose." She gives Jack a final glance, narrowing her eyes, not trusting this machine one bit. She moves back towards the Inn. The sun was setting. Well, it was getting darker atleast and it was time for a second meal.
[19:15] * Snack_Cake does follow, though along the way she gets pretty distracted, looking around the little train town. It was... very different from anything she was used to seeing.
[19:16] * Mister_Clacky|GM Slag's ear swivels around. "Sounds like he's done. Let's get your bag then. Pretty thing like you shouldn't be left without." She gives a slight waggle of her eyebrow as she ducks back into the store.
[19:16] <Scrap> After getting his armor on, Scrap asks Slash, "Do you clean barding here or does somepony else in town?"
[19:18] * Nyota moves into the Inn with a swaying gait, her tail bobbing up and down as she moves up to a table and sits down at it. Glancing at Miss Priss she takes out her own meager food suplies of mutfruit and water, munching down the first eagerly. Her ears flicking back and forth. They pretty much always where.
[19:18] * Blackberry_Jam notices Snack_Cake's distraction and smiles, turning to face her and trotting backwards, like a boss. "Guess I should formally welcome you to Railyard. You probably couldn't have picked a better place to wind up in, kid. We've got just about every thing you need here."
[19:18] * Thunder_Strike she blushes and bit but tries to hide it by moving a wing ver her face. She does follow behind trying her hardest to not spy a peak at slag. "Yes. I do need those saddlebags."
[19:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Shash strikes a pose. "Do we clean barding? This is Slash and Slag's! We..." He is interrupted by a small hammer striking his head. The source of the thrown instrument proves to be Slag leading Thunder_Strike into the store.
[19:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag fully enters. "Yeah, we do that."
[19:20] * Scrap pulls out the stable bardings, "I would like these cleaned, please."
[19:20] * Snack_Cake glances back at Blackberry_Jam, but can't help but return to looking around as they continue on. "It's... I've never seen a place like this. It's so different!"
[19:21] * Nyota 's totaly sitting in the dinning car eating her food.
[19:22] * Blackberry_Jam leads her to the Inn, smiling. "Yeah, it truly is something else, isn't it? I thought the same thing when I showed up. And here we are, Mrs. Priss' Inn."
[19:23] * Thunder_Strike glances around to try and locate her bags.
[19:23] * Mister_Clacky|GM Slag takes the armor and dumps it on Slash. "He'll have it done in a jiffy. 5 caps for his time."
[19:24] <Scrap> "Thank you."
[19:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike 's bags are where she left them, indisturbed in the bedlam of Slash's working exploits.
[19:24] * Nyota is sitting at one of the tables in a corner. Her hoodie is pulled up still, she's slowly sipping a bottle of water. Looking around in deep thought. 'Cant move south yet, no caps for it. Perhaps I should have a look at that bulletin board later.'
[19:26] * Snack_Cake glances at the Inn, then down at her PipBuck. She brings up the map to see if it's marked it down.
[19:26] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The inside of the dining car is mostly intact and very 'swanky'. Miss Priss is talking to the Bartender. A chipper young mare greets Blackberry and Snack_Cake as they enter.
[19:27] * Thunder_Strike spots them right where she left them.. Only there a few additions ontop of them. She digs them out and checks to make sure nothing happened to the breakable bottles.
[19:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake's PipBuck dilligently charts her progress.
[19:28] * Snack_Cake smiles. Now she won't get lost!
[19:29] * Blackberry_Jam gives the mare a polite nod and trots into the dining car. She looks around for an empty table and digs into a can of carrots, washing it down with a bottle of fresh water when she finally takes her seat.
[19:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag walks back toward the door and looks seriously at Slash. "I'm taking dinner. Get that cleaned and no more embarrasing the business with your... you-ness... while I'm gone." She looks back at Thunder_Strike. "You coming?"
[19:34] * Nyota eyes the Blackberry_Jam and Snack_Cake as they enter the dining car.
[19:34] * Thunder_Strike puts on her saddlebags. Then looks at Slag and shrugs, "eh, I'm sure canary gave that mare the caps by now, and I am hungry. Why not?" She says walking along.
[19:35] * Snack_Cake follows Blackberry_Jam and takes a seat with her. She's a little disheartened though when Blackberry_Jam eats a can of carrots.
[19:35] * Blackberry_Jam offers Snack_Cake the seat across from her, munching on carrots. Good for your eyes!
[19:35] <~Blackberry_Jam> { REDACT }
[19:36] * Blackberry_Jam looks up at Snack_Cake, watching her eye her. "Oh! Do you want some?" She asks, sliding another can across the table and offering it.
[19:38] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary, who had been trying to read himself with this cards for a good long while, wanders into the dining car. His face lights up and he crosses over to Blackberry_Jam and Snack_Cake.
[19:38] * Thunder_Strike ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: It's a Cactopus! )
[19:38] * Snack_Cake eyes the can, looking disappointed. "Oh... I just thought there would be... something more substantial."
[19:40] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Hey! It's the little Stable pony! I needed to give you this." He hoofs over a sack of caps.
[19:40] * Nyota puts her rearlegs in odd possition, crossing them she places her forehooves together infront of her chest and closes her eyes, taking a deep breath. Letting her breath out after a few seconds and then repeating the process. Her ears still flicks ontop of her head. She only manage to stay like this for a minute before her concentration is broken by Canarys apperance.
[19:41] * Blackberry_Jam chuckles again. "Oh right... well... out here, you take what you can get, right? It's not much, but it's what I've got. Feel free to-" She stops mid-sentence as Canary trots over.
[19:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Although I guess your not really little, but stll, little-ish? Less big?"
[19:41] * Nyota opens her eyes and looks towards Canary's and the two mares direction.
[19:42] * Thunder_Strike ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[19:45] * Snack_Cake glances over at Canary, curiously. "Uh... what is it?"
[19:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag strides into the room with Thunder_Strike in tow. "Hey, Order Up! Table for two!"
[19:46] * Nyota slides off her chair and slowly aproaches Snack_Cake, Blackberry_Jam and Canary. Seeing that Snack_Cake is busy she keeps her distance. Scraping a hoof at her foreleg.
[19:47] * Blackberry_Jam watches the zebra out of the corner of her eye, eating her carrots and ignoring the silly tarot-pony.
[19:47] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary looks over. "Caps. Sold that squishy fellow's sledgehammer. Thought you should have it." He notices Nyota. "Hey, I remember you! And that's saying something!"
[19:48] * Thunder_Strike is following behind her looking to the left, trying not to let her habit of sneaking a perk happen.
[19:50] * Nyota nods at Canary then moves  closer to Snack_Cake. Lowering her head slightly. "I'm sorry for your loss. Their souls are with the stars." Looking up at Snack Cake again for a moment before taking a step back.
[19:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress motions for Slag and Thunder_Strike to follow. The motion of Slag's hips and tail make 'sneaking a peak' hardly necessary. They are set a few tables down from the large group in the room with them.
[19:50] * Snack_Cake is still kinda confused. She opens the bag to look inside and is... even more confused by the contents. "Bottlecaps? I uh... Why would you give me bottlecaps?"
[19:53] * Blackberry_Jam smiles sets her can down. Stable Ponies.
[19:54] * Thunder_Strike looks forward to follow them and catches a glimpse but doesn't stare.
[19:57] * Snack_Cake frowns and looks between Canary and Blackberry_Jam. "Is there something I'm missing here?"
[19:58] * Blackberry_Jam nods slowly. "Bottlecaps are money out here, kid. Haven't the slightest idea why, though. Never was one for economics."
[19:59] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary looks around. "I hate to dine and dash... well... I didn't dine, but I'm going to dash. Cause I gotta go. Inverted Chariot and Emperor, you understand." With that he turns to leave.
[20:00] * Snack_Cake gives Blackberry_Jam a questioning look, then turns to Canary, looking more confused still. "Uh... what?"
[20:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary is gone... or maybe he was never there at all.
[20:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Except that he was.
[20:04] * Blackberry_Jam brings a hoof to her chin as Canaray leaves. "That buck... something isn't right about him."
[20:06] * Nyota shakes her head slightly at Canary's randomness. She glances over at teh chair next to Blackberry. "Ah, I hope you do not mind, may I sit with you two?"
[20:07] * Blackberry_Jam shrugs slightly. "Of course you can, Stripes."
[20:08] * Thunder_Strike takes a seat at the table across from slag.
[20:09] * Nyota shakes her head as she takes the place next to Blackberry. "Nyota."
[20:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag orders a Sparkle Cola and an immitation meat pie. She looks over to Thunder_Strike. "Their meat pies are amazing. Even if there isn't any actual meat in it. Do you eat pie?"
[20:11] * Snack_Cake puts the caps away and starts eating some of the carrots she'd been offered.
[20:11] * Blackberry_Jam nods. "Nyota, got it Stripes. Blackberry Jam. That's Snack_Cake.
[20:11] <~Blackberry_Jam>  " She says, pointing to the eating pony.
[20:14] * Thunder_Strike "no, but I think I'll try one. I'll have the same." She says making her order.
[20:16] * Nyota frowns slightly as she glances over to Snack Cake and Blackberry respectivly, her tail flicks. "Don't call me that.. My name is Nyota." She taps a hoof at the table, moving it in circles. Looking down at it for a while before up at Snack Cake. "Are you going to be alright?"
[20:17] * Blackberry_Jam smiles as she eats the last few carrots out of the can and takes a swing of the water.
[20:18] * Snack_Cake eyes the zebra warily. Weren't they responsible for what happened to Equestria? Her teachers had been very clear about that. "I'm... fine." She's kinda nervous and skittish.
[20:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag looks over to the waitress. "You heard her, we're eating pie tonight. Chop, chop." The waitress darts off with a nod and a blush.
[20:20] * Thunder_Strike chuckles. "So, slag. Interesting name."
[20:22] * Blackberry_Jam looks between the two of them and nods. "So Stripes. You came racing to the scene yesterday. That's pretty valliant, especially for somepony...Err... Zebra who doesn't live here."
[20:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Yeah?" Slag leans back. "Slash likes it. It's what I leave behind when somepony pisses me off." She pats the plasma pistol holstered at her shoulder.
[20:24] * Nyota 's eyes narrow as she looks at Snack Cake after a momente she nods firmly. "Good." Her ears flicks about towards Blackberry_Jam and she glances over to her instead. "Would you not done the same if there was somepony, or zebra, in need of your help? The selfishness of equestria is why it's the state it is in..." She mumbles the last sentence, glancing over at Slag and Thunder Strike.
[20:24] * Scrap deciding that Slash is trustworthy enough, leave for the nearest eatery.
[20:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  back in the weapon shop Slash has dutifully finished the cleaning
[20:26] * Blackberry_Jam chuckles, seriously doubting that last point. "Well, I -did- go out there. I'm just saying it's valiant, that's all."
[20:26] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Oy! Fly-dude! Hold up!" He tosses the clean barding at Scrap. "All done, Boy-O."
[20:27] * Scrap realizing this at the door, thanks Slash for his work and gives him the 5 caps.
[20:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash facehoofs. "Oh, yeah, pay. Gotta remember that. Slag gets /pissed/."
[20:28] * Scrap smiles, "we'll pretend that you asked. Thanks again."
[20:29] * Nyota nods slightly. Turning her gaze towards Snack Cake agian. "Why is a Stable pony out of her stable?" She asks after a moment, pulling her hoodie down and shakes her mane slightly.
[20:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash give a very enthusiastic wave. The nearest, and only, eatery in town is the Dining Car.
[20:29] * Scrap heads out for it.
[20:30] * Thunder_Strike "heh, I kinda figured as much." She says chuckling. "I normally use this. She  says motioning to the Bowie knife in its scabbard on her chest. "But mostly this." She says motioning to the recharger rifle on her right.
[20:31] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "It's a nice rig, now that it isn't falling apart." She chuckles as the waitress drops off their food and heads toward the door.
[20:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress arrives at her post near the door as Scrap approaches. "Hello, sir. Welcome."
[20:32] * Snack_Cake glances over to Blackberry_Jam. "Well... The Overmare wanted to send an expedition outside, but... It was... desolate. Nothing around... The... The three of us..." She hesitates a bit. "We wanted to see if we could find someplace before she shut us all back inside."
[20:32] <Scrap> "Hello, table for one."
[20:33] * Blackberry_Jam listens intently, giving Snack_Cake her best reasuring smile.
[20:33] * Thunder_Strike nods. "Thanks." She says smiling then looks at the food. "That actually looks good."
[20:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress leads him to a nearby table. The dining car is close but not uncomfortably so. It would be hard not to be able to pick up other's conversations if one would try. "Would you like to place an order?"
[20:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag smiles. "I really enjoy the pie. I mean, I'm not particular, I'll eat just about anything. But I /really/ dig me some pie every so often."
[20:36] <Scrap> "Yes please, a Sparkle-cola and an apple sandwich."
[20:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress nods. "Coming right up." She heads to the back to place the order and stops by the rather bored looking bartender to grab the cola on her way back.
[20:37] * Nyota keeps her eyes narrowed as she looks at teh Stable pony. She glances over at Scrap as he enters the dining car. "I see.." She strokes a hoof through her mane.
[20:38] * Blackberry_Jam speaks up. "So if you -did- find something, what was the plan after that?"
[20:39] * Scrap looks around the diner an spots the stable pony. He begins silently considering his options.
[20:40] * Serenity is now known as Wraith
[20:40] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress drops of the cola at Scrap's table. "Here ya go, handsome. Sandwich will be right out." She canters off.
[20:41] * Thunder_Strike "hmm... Lets just see." She says and takes a bite if the pie.
[20:43] * Snack_Cake thinks for a moment. "Well... we were supposed to talk I guess... and find out what's happened while we've been shut away. We're supposed to come out and help with the rebuilding... so we need to know what's happening, right?"
[20:45] * Blackberry_Jam nods slowly and thinks for a moment herself. "Well... world's gone to shit, but you probably figured that out by now. And... I don't know about 'rebuilding'. Seems a little... far-fetched."
[20:50] * Nyota sighs. "Re-building might be a hard goal, yes. But ponies, ah, and zebras can do better then what they are. There is to much destroying the world." She keeps circling her hoof at the table. Sighing again she shakes her head. "So, what will you do now?" She looks up from her hoof towards Snack_Cake.
[20:52] * Snack_Cake gives another nervous look back at Nyota. "I... I guess I should go back. I don't... think coming out here was a good idea..."
[20:52] * Blackberry_Jam nods in agreement. "That's probably not a bad idea, kid. Don't take it personally, but you really don't look like you're cut out for life out here. Where's this place?"
[20:54] * Nyota leans back and looks doubtfully at Snack_Cake; "No offense pony, but I'm not sure youd even survive the trip back." She flicks her tail. "Raiders to the north and ghouls to the south. This place is as cursed as the rest of the wasteland."
[20:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag leans in. "So, good pie?"
[20:57] <Nyota> (North is south, South is north)
[20:59] * Thunder_Strike nods with a smiles.  Then eats more of said pie.
[21:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag digs into her pie with gusto.
[21:00] * Snack_Cake goes back to her PipBuck, pulling up the map. She points out where her stable is to Blackberry_Jam.
[21:02] * Blackberry_Jam eyes the map and whistles. "Oh yeah, that's quite the treacherous route. I'd be willing to take you there... if I could poke around in your Stable a little. Sound good?"
[21:02] * Thunder_Strike noms the pie then pauses to take a drink of her cola.
[21:02] * Snack_Cake frowns. "I... don't know..."
[21:03] * Nyota glances at the pipbuck. "That's a direction I have to travel anyway, I too can accompany you there."
[21:03] * Scrap 's ears perk up at the mention of a group forming for travel.
[21:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry_Jam an see that the location of the Stable is about 4 miles north.
[21:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Which is a rather impressive distance through the Buckago wastes. It is frankly amazing they didn't run into trouble sooner.
[21:08] * Blackberry_Jam looks to Nyota, then to Snack_Cake, then to the Pipbuck. "No way in -hell- you'd make it back there alone."
[21:10] * Snack_Cake looks disappointed. "So... you won't help then? I don't know if you'd be allowed inside..."
[21:10] * Blackberry_Jam shakes her head. "You misunderstand. I'd help, but... it's not the kind of risk I take for nothing. You have to promise me you'll at least ask."
[21:11] * Nyota nods slowly. "We're going to need more companions." She glances over to Scrap and smiles a little. "Perhaps more ponies with a valiant heart and willing to save those in need, hmm..." She trails off, flicking her tail.
[21:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag finishes. "Mmm... good stuff."
[21:13] * Thunder_Strike finishes a few moments later. "Agreed." She says grinning.
[21:13] * Scrap as Nyota glances over she sees Scrap watching them.
[21:16] * Snack_Cake hesitates. "I... I can ask... but I don't think they'll let you in."
[21:16] * Scrap amused and smiling, walks over to the group, "I take it you're recruiting. I can lend my services as a combatant and scout."
[21:17] * Blackberry_Jam leans back as well. "Good enough for me. Unless you'd be willing to-" She gives Scrap a dubious look. "Well, if it isn't Kamikaze. See you're doing well enough."
[21:17] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag looks over at Thunder_Strike. "Look. I don't do coy. You, me, more pie eating at my place. Only by 'pie eating' I mean I'll g..." A loud hollar interrupts her. "SLAG! I'm bored~! Are you done eating yet?" Slash trots into the room.
[21:19] <Scrap> "That wasn't my first, though I finally got the blades I kept tellin myself I'd get to make it work better."
[21:20] * Scrap seeing Slash come in, "like it here, I should make this my vaction spot."
[21:20] <Scrap> I like*
[21:21] * Blackberry_Jam is uncertain of how useful it is to have somepony who whould throw themselves at a massive ghoul around. Just more wounds to stitch... She looks over Scrap with a gaze that plainly shows this.
[21:21] * Thunder_Strike "what are..." She is also interrupted by slash. Which gives her time to think about what she was saying, which she figures out and blushes alittle.
[21:22] * Snack_Cake looks over toward the new pony. "Oh... Thank you. I could use all the help I can get..."
[21:22] * Nyota eyes Scrap up and down. "Yes, if you're willing we'll gladly accept your help. You know what we're planning to do, yes?" She nods to herself, mumbling. "And a flier is always good..."
[21:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "What the dangly-fucks are you doing out of the shop! We can't both be out of the shop!" She stomps angrily.
[21:23] <Scrap> "I'm not easily offended, if you have a question just ask."
[21:23] * Blackberry_Jam shakes her head, jerking upright a little. She was staring again... "Hmm? Nope, nothing. Welcome aboard."
[21:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "But... I wanna eat too..." Shash looks astoundinly pitiful for his... him-ness. Slag gives a sigh. "Fine..." She looks batk at Thunder_Strike. "Offers on the table. I'll be at the shop if you need somewhere to be." With that she trots out.
[21:26] * Thunder_Strike nods. "O..ok then. " she says standing up a slight blush still present. No mare has ever offered before.
[21:26] * Scrap looking at Slag, "that mare really gets around."
[21:27] * Nyota shakes her head. "If you're willing to help... Then that is good enough for me. You've already saved me once, I know your intentions are pure. Not many who would do such a thing like that.." She mutters something in zebra, frowning to herself.
[21:27] * Blackberry_Jam snorts and takes another swig of water. "Too right."
[21:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash trots happily over to a corner booth away from the group.
[21:30] * Scrap suddenly remembering something, to Snack_Cake, "I don't want upset you, but it didn't seem right to let somepony else have them." He pulls out the stable bardings and the bag with 39 prewar coins. "I had them cleaned too."
[21:30] * Blackberry_Jam leans back farther, putting her hind hooves up on the table. She casually lights a cigarette before asking, "Hey. There was another pegasus that was in the clinic today. Any of you seen her?"
[21:33] * Blackberry_Jam figures something like that would stick out.
[21:33] * Snack_Cake looks at the things Scrap offers her, curiously. It takes a moment for her to realize what it is, but when she does, she visibly recoils away from them. "That's..." She looks pretty distressed. "Y...you..."
[21:34] * Nyota glances at the  barding, hissing she looks at Scrap. "Kijinga farasi.. She dosn't need this right now!"
[21:35] * Blackberry_Jam looks between all of them and sighs a little. Well, there goes all of today's progress. "I'm out for a smoke. Try not to fuck it up any more than you have." As she rises and makes for the exit, she spots Thunder_Strike out of the corner of her eye. "Speak of the devil..." Trotting over to the pegasus mare, she smiles. "Hey there."
[21:36] <Scrap> "I'm sorry, it just didn't seem right. I'll just... uh... go back to my table." Putting the things away he walks back slumps down cursing himself under his breath.
[21:40] * Nyota shakes her head at Scrap. "Kijinga..." She looks over at Snack_Cake; "Do not think about it, pony. You have to be focused on this trip." She flicks her tail. Pulling up her hoodie again.
[21:42] * Thunder_Strike hears somepony speak close by, she looks around and spots Blackberry_Jam. "Oh... Hi there. Your that mare that helped me on the roof right?"
[21:42] * Snack_Cake squeezes her eyes shut and just kinda... sits there for a moment. She was supposed to be okay. Not... all emotional.
[21:42] * Blackberry_Jam nods. "Dr. Blackberry Jam, at your service. How's the wing? Figured I'd take one last look at it before I took off."
[21:44] * Thunder_Strike "it's better. Dr. Splotches popped it back into place." She says opening it. "Though it's still sore."
[21:45] * Nyota just sits there, watching Snack_Cake with her amber eyes.
[21:45] * Blackberry_Jam takes a good look at it, breathing smoke out her nostrils. " Yeah, he does good work. So what's next for you, Feather duster? Sticking around here long?"
[21:48] * Nyota flicks her tail!
[21:48] * Thunder_Strike "I'm not sure actually." She says shuffling a hoof on the floor.
[21:48] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress swings by to check on everypony. It has slipped into the early stages of what passes for night in the wastes.
[21:49] * Blackberry_Jam hmmms and looks over at the group of ponies at the table still. "Well... I know a few ponies who could use a hoof transporting some precious cargo. Think you could lend a hoof?"
[21:51] * Snack_Cake rubs her eyes with a hoof. "I just... They were my friends... It's... hard..."
[21:53] <Scrap> "I'll help, I'm not not helping here."
[21:53] * Thunder_Strike "hmm... I think I could, yeah." She says giving a nod. "Is need some medx for the pain in my wing though."
[21:54] * Nyota disregards teh waitress with a hoofwave, still watching Snack_Cake. "Yes.. I know it is hard, things are hard out here, and the wasteland won't stop being tough. Pony, you need to be tougher, if only for a while. Untill we get you back into your stable. Can you do that?"
[21:55] * Blackberry_Jam snorts, which turns into a low chuckle. "Med-X? It's not like you broke it or anything. Med-X is for injuries -way- more serious than yours. Just don't sleep on it and take some asprin. You'll be fine."
[21:57] * Thunder_Strike giggles. "Yeah, I'm not real verse in medicine." She says feeling embarrassed.
[21:58] * Blackberry_Jam pats the mare on the shoulder and leads her over to the table. "Ladies, we've got one more pony for the job. And... as long as she flies better than she was when she showed up, I feel... pretty confident that we'll make it to that Stable."
[22:01] * Nyota nods. "Thats.. Five, I do believe thats enough for this trip, yes." She bites her lower lip, glancing at her saddlebags and slowly sliding out of her chair. "My supplies are running low, I will have to buy more if Im going on this journey."
[22:02] * Thunder_Strike was led over to the table. "Yeah. I can help somehow."
[22:02] * Blackberry_Jam takes a peek outside at the darkening sky. "Yeah, I'd say we move out tomorrow. Get some shut-eye, get what we need in the morning, and get to the Stable as fast we can."
[22:02] * Snack_Cake nods slightly at Nyota. "I can... I can try." She looks over to the other pony who Blackberry_Jam brought over. "Oh. You... you're the one who helped me! Thank you, again."
[22:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The waitress reappears with Scrap's sandwich. Here you are, 10 bits all together.
[22:03] * Nyota nods at Snack_Cake. "Good." She heads for the exit with  and slinks outside.
[22:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM> caps*
[22:05] * Scrap gives the ten bits, "Thanks." He eats it pathetically.
[22:06] <Scrap> Caps*
[22:07] * Blackberry_Jam takes her vacant seat once again and lets her cigarette dwindle. "So. Let's say we meet at the clinic in the morning, head to the general store, and leave through the north gate."
[22:11] * Thunder_Strike is pondering about slags offer. "Yeah, clinic alright."
[22:13] * Nyota has already sneaked of into the night.
[22:13] * Blackberry_Jam can say from personal experience that that one acts in bed like she does out of it.
[22:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Outside it is dark. There aren't many ponies still around. Caboose is still at the guardpost at the north gate, and a lantern is burning at the south end of town near the packed railcar.
[22:15] <Scrap> Stepping out into the night, Scrap considers sleep on a roof to save what little money he has left.
[22:16] * Nyota sneaks out of the south end of town. Finding some place to curl up in. It was better if she slept away from ponies. She was putting them in enough danger as it was already.
[22:17] * Blackberry_Jam eventually retires to her quarters in the clinic, a hammock in the corner that she keeps stowed away most of the time. Climbing into it, she reads a little of her newest book before falling asleep.
[22:17] * Scrap decides to check at the inn to at least see what it would cost.
[22:18] * Snack_Cake heads to the inn to ask about the room Blackberry_Jam said she has.
[22:19] * Thunder_Strike decides to take the chance cause she might not ever get it again. She heads for slags place.
[22:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Miss Priss is behind the counter and answers Scrap. "10 caps a night." She then notices Snack_Cake and tosses her a key. "You're number 14"
[22:20] <Scrap> "That a bit much for me, thanks anyway."
[22:22] * Snack_Cake takes the key. "Thank you!" She heads off to the room.
[22:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Miss Priss waves him over. "I'll make ya a deal. Last pony to stay in 17 left it one hell of a mess. You clean it up, you can sleep there tonight." She lowers her voice. "Squelch on me and I'll have your legs broken."
[22:24] <Scrap> "Thank you very much, you have a deal!"
[22:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  she gives him a key with 17 written on it. Snack and Scrap find that the Inn's rooms are actually several sleeper cars.
[22:27] * Scrap approaches 17 and opens the door expecting to have to be up all night cleaning.
[22:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike heads toward Slash and Slag's.
[22:28] * Thunder_Strike stands at the door of the shop and try's the door.
[22:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Room 17 is trashed, and the smell is unpleasant, but he figures he can get it cleaned up in a couple hours.
[22:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder jiggles the door. A few seconds later it slides open. Slash is standing in the doorway, blocking her path.
[22:30] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  He looks her over. "Can I help you?"
[22:30] * Blackberry_Jam reads a lovely peace about natural beauty and perfection. Very enlightening!
[22:32] * Thunder_Strike "heya, slag here? Need ta talk to her." She says smiling.
[22:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash leans his head back, keeping his eyes locked with hers. "Slag? That pegasus is back looking for you."
[22:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  A hollar comes from the back. "The mare or the stallion?"
[22:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash squints his eyes... and inexplicably sniffs. "The mare!"
[22:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag peers around the corner from a back room. "Send her in, and then leave."
[22:35] * Thunder_Strike stands there waiting for him to move.
[22:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash pouts. "But I live here!"
[22:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Tough!"
[22:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash grumbles as he grabs a pillow and trots outside. He whispers to Thunder as he passes. "If you were a stallion..." The threat is implicit, but he trots off to the porch and lays down."
[22:38] * Thunder_Strike try's not to laugh at his comment. "Sorry to disappoint you." She says and enters.
[22:39] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag trots around the corner wearing a slinky little number that somehow makes her seem more lewd than walking around without. "Oh we are going to have some fun."
[22:40] * Scrap finishes cleaning. The mess is gone but part of the smell remains, he tries to sleep wishing it was his nose that was defective.
[22:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag leads Thunder_Strike into the back.
[22:42] * Thunder_Strike nods, "I bet. She smiles then a bit of curiousity takes hold. "so is he like your brother or something?" She asks taking a glance back at the door.
[22:42] * Thunder_Strike she asks that as she's lead to the back.
[22:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "He's kinda like my brother. I mean, we share /NO/ genetic material. He found me. He's a nice guy, not too bright. But enough about him."
[22:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike learns two things that night. 1) Slag knows the right buttons 2) Slag is a screamer.
[22:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash is reminded how thin walls of the railcars are.
[22:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The sun probably rises the next morning, the omnipresent cloudcover makes it hard to tell. But it dies get brighter and ponies start to wake up.
[22:56] <Mister_Clacky|GM> does8
[22:56] * Scrap wakes up to the lovely stench left over and leaves the room asap.
[22:57] * Nyota rolls out of whatever hole she was hiding, eating yet another mutfruit and sipping down more water before she starts to make her way back to town. She trotts towards the inn for resupplying herself with more food and water.
[22:59] * Blackberry_Jam rolls out of her hammock and on to her hooves. She'll eat on the road. She explains her situation to Splotches, and gives him a hug, thanking him for everything that he'd done for her, and promising to be back soon. With that, she gathers her belongings and heads to Slash and Slag's. She'd need more shells than she'd anticipated.
[23:00] * Nyota pulls down her hoodie as she enters the inn and moves into the dining car. She could probebly get her food her without havign to deal with that creepy shopkeep pony..
[23:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Nyota sees the barkeeper is in early cleaning.
[23:01] * Thunder_Strike eventually wakes with a stretch and moan.
[23:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike is awoken by a playful bite on the ear. "Rise and shine." WIth that the gun-mare rolls out of bed and trots energetically out into the store proper
[23:02] <Scrap> After thanking the inn keeper again and wondering why this group needs to be up during the day, Scrap heads for the general store.
[23:02] * Nyota look at the barkeep pony for a moment. "I'd like to trade. She shuffles into her saddlebags and places three empty bottles on a table, filling these with water and Ill buy some fruit aswell if you have any.." She flicks her tail, biting her lower lip for a moment before adding. "And herbs too, if you have them..
[23:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Kaching is just opening the store as Scrap heads his way. The Sheriff and his deputies are running laps around the town.
[23:03] * Blackberry_Jam knocks loudly on Slash and Slag's door, lighting her morning cigarette. If it weren't for the sweet rush of nicotine, she'd probably be the grumpiest pony in Equestria.
[23:06] * Scrap seeing that he's the first one there, decides to join the Sheriff and deputies for a run.
[23:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash sits bolt upright on the porch when Blackberry knocks. "Welcome to... so store.. and stuff..." He blinks several times and ends up squinting. "Stupid time that starts... the awake... time..." He stands shakily.
[23:06] * Snack_Cake takes a bit more time waking up. She isn't used to waking up very early, or waking up not in her own bed, or even waking up in a place that isn't completely underground. It's a lot to get used to. When she finally does wake up though, she goes to return the room key.
[23:06] * Thunder_Strike giggles and blushes from the bite. "I'm already up." She says rolling out if bed on the otherside, then eventually follows her out, but fixes her mane a bit first.
[23:07] * Blackberry_Jam does a doubletake at Slash. "Did you... sleep... out here last night?"
[23:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash walks into the door. "Damn you traitorous door." He turns to Blackberry bleary-eyed. "Yes."
[23:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag unlocks the door to the store and head back to the counter. "You can head out whenever you like, Strike. And come back whenever too."
[23:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The three guards keep a pretty easy pace to start. "Good morning." His chipperness is as infuriating as it is sincere.
[23:10] * Blackberry_Jam holds it open for Slash. "You look... You look like shit, Slash. And that's saying something." She adds with a slight grin.
[23:10] <Scrap> "I suppose it is."
[23:11] * Nyota coughs. "You do.. Have food and water, right?"
[23:11] * Thunder_Strike giggles. "Thanks, but. That kinda service doesn't come cheap." She says giggling but is only kidding.
[23:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The barkeep looks her over intently. "Yeah. I got that. And I just so happen to have some herbs I'd be willing to part with."
[23:14] * Snack_Cake has no idea where to meet up with the ponies from last night. The only other place she knows is the clinic, so she heads there.
[23:15] * Nyota nods."This is good.." She points at the bottles lined up. "Id like these three filled, and then a few mutfruits if you have any. And the herbs." She finishes with another nod. "How much would that be?"
[23:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The Barkeep fills up her bottles and pulls up a box from behind the counter with a selection of fruit. "Names Stiff Drink. Friends call me Stiffy."
[23:16] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The box has a couple apples, a mutfruit, three potatoes, and a pair. There are also 2 blue, 1 red, and a green herb.
[23:17] * Blackberry_Jam trots into the shop briskly and heads right to the counter. "Slag, I need some more shotgun shells. And, while you're at it, tell me why Slash looks like a zombie."
[23:18] * Nyota smiles a little." I'm Nyota", she looks into the box and picks the mutfruit three apples and a potato. She also picks the red and green herb. "I'd like these, uhm.. Lets see. How much would that be?"
[23:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Stiffy looks over to Nyota. "24 caps for the water. 5 a piece for fruit and 10 a piece for the herbs. So... 59 caps?"
[23:19] * Thunder_Strike is totally standing near the back room door. She waves at Blackberry_Jam though, while she waits for slag to answer her joke.
[23:21] * Blackberry_Jam blinkity blinks at Thunder_Strike, slowly putting the pieces together. She flashes the pegasus a knowing smile and resumes her shopping.
[23:21] * Nyota digs into her saddlebags and finds her caps pouch. Putting the caps on the counter before storing the newly aquired goods. She gives a quick smile at Stiff Drink, taking a step back before turning on the spot and trotting out, her tail bobbing up and down as she makes her way towards the clinic.
[23:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag comes striding through. "Who needs to pay? I thought it was a mutual service partnership?"
[23:23] * Thunder_Strike giggles and nods. "I was joking." She says smiling then points to Blackberry_Jam. "Though she needs shells. So I guess she needs to pay.
[23:24] * Nyota slinks into the clinic and waits there for the others to arive.
[23:26] * Scrap stops running and checks the general store wondering why no pony is here yet. After waiting a bit, he decides to do laps flying remembering to fly low.

[23:32] <Mister_Clacky|gm>  Kaching finishes opening his store.
[23:33] <Mister_Clacky|gm>  Slash trots past the assembled mares and pulls the cover from the ammunition case. "You need ammo, we got it, yadda yadda, whaddaya need?"
[23:34] * Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes playfully at the shopkeep. "Taking advantage of my patients again, I see. But yes, I need some more regular buckshot. And I wanted to say goodbye. A few other and I are escorting some Stable pony back home, and I don't know how long I'll be gone for."
[23:36] * Thunder_Strike "that includes me." She says smiling.
[23:37] <Mister_Clacky|gm>  Slash starts getting out some buckshot. "Oy, If I was that sleaze-bucket down the way, I'd say 'hate to see ya go but love to watch ya leave'." He gives her a sleepy grin. "But instead I'll just say 'how many slugs'?"
[23:38] * Blackberry_Jam buys 15 more and pays. With a decisive nod to both of them, she leaves, motioning for Thunder_Strike to follow her to the Clinic.

[23:45] * Scrap heads too the general store this time to stay and wait it out.
[23:45] * Blackberry_Jam waves too. "Take it easy."
[23:45] <Mister_Clacky|gm>  Slag tries to saucily smack that flank, but overbalances and faceplants. The two mares leave hearing Slash's maniacal laughter and then several loud thumps.
[23:46] <Mister_Clacky|gm>  Kaching waves Scrap in. "Welcome to Kaching's Kollectables! What can I get for you, friend?"
[23:46] * Snack_Cake is already at the Clinic. She's not been there too long, but has probably been talking to the other doc.
[23:47] <Scrap> "Nothing this time, I'm waiting for my group to form. Thanks Anyway."
[23:48] <Mister_Clacky|gm>  Scrap can see Blackberry_Jam and Thunder_Strike leaving Slash and Slag's
[23:48] * Thunder_Strike starts giggling. Then calls back, "you missed, but you can try again another time." She continues walking with Blackberry_Jam
[23:50] * Blackberry_Jam absentmindedly hums a tune as she trots out.
[23:50] * Scrap seeing no point in waiting heads over to join with the others.
